Disney CEO Bob Iger could make over $27 million this year, or 535 times the median pay of his employees.
Why does one person need that much money? Why do they make that much??
Well, for one, you can sue someone until they run out of money

What will happen? What is “it”?
I deleted this comment because I thought I was replying to someone else’s comment on this same post where they said let’s take their money. Then realized I commented on my own post. Lol
Why can’t we just take the money away from these people?
because a lot of powerful people have convinced tens of millions of dumb poor idiots that they’ll be rich one day (they wont) and if we hold rich people accountable today, then that same accountability will be used against those dumb poor idiots when they become rich (which they wont ever be), so they fight to protect the rich in the blind dumb fantasy that they’ll be there, exploiting other poors one day.
This is so very the answer.
It’s so interesting to see a friend barely making ends meet but thinking they’re a few wins away from being “self-made”.
I don’t think they’re ‘dumb idiots’, but definitely wilfully ignorant, and it’s very sad.
You are talking about the police? Or who are the dumb poor idiots?
We are the dumb poor idiots. The population in general.
I can’t remember where I heard it from, but there was a good line about all citizens (particularly Americans) believing they are “temporarily embarrassed millionaires”.
Because the police also protects them. Any old fashion violent revolt will be not greeted by population (currently) and the police and government will prevent that with force. the funny thing is, that the police and co. consistently protect the interests of the rich more than the interests of the poor. you’ll barely get discriminated if you’re rich. and it happens often, that rich people in a city are known by the policemen and they know that they shouldn’t fine them - as otherwise they’re out of their job.
Many people actually have forgotten, that unions were created because the workers were starting to kill owners of factories/companies due to the massive exploitation. Unions were only powerful, because the alternative - namely violentl death for the owners by being outnumbered - was actually dangerous and had teeth. but these days, unions have much less teeth - and when strikes don’t work, violence becomes necessary.
It’ll happen eventually when society can’t afford anything, which is very soon.
Eat the rich
Fucking gladly
It will be fucking yummy
Little salt, pepper, bit of EVOO. Scrumptious.
Eat shit, Bob.
Add him to the list of asshat CEO’s who are universally loathed by customers of the company, yet the board lets them keep the job because the users won’t inconvenience themselves enough to force their hands. I’m looking at you, people who kept using Reddit. If we (the average American consumer) had principles and any stomach for protest we could get Huffman and Iger fired in a matter of weeks or months.
“Man who makes $3,000 an hour says you want too much.”
Nothing of value will be lost if Hollywood just disappears.
Although I know the reasons for the actors’ strike, I think it is unfair for them to demand more when their job is mainly to interpret the creations of others. I think those who have more reason to demand are the intellectual creators of the films, such as musicians, costume designers, concept artists, etc.
¿Por qué no los dos?
The actors are striking with the writers and the iatse is with em too.
The intellectual creators of film are with the actors on this.
